My tiny little brain keeps telling me to win big in the midterms

We should be looking into all the congress people who voted against certifying the Electoral College votes on
Jan 6th. Peter Navarro has said he had over 100 Reps & Senators lined up to throw out the votes from the 6
swing states and we have their voting records.

Is this not aiding and abetting the head insurrectionist? So what are they guilty of, being a insurrectionist,
a thief, a domestic terrorist, or a traitor? If there is anything in our laws that prevent people from serving
in congress because of their actions Jan 6th we need to exploit it. There are some good legal minds here on
DU that should be able to point to something they are guilty of. My legal knowledge is limited to watching
My Cousin Vinny.

More repugs voted to overturn the election than voted to certify Biden. Be nice if we could throw them out of
congress for a legal reason. You can find how your R congress critter voted here.........

In this gerrymandered red district MAGATs would vote her out in the '22 primary had she done otherwise.

to pick one thing to charge them with.

I'm just wishing that every drop will help GOTV, our last and final hope. If we could only capture both the House and the Senate in the mid terms, l think we will get somewhere.

As the Jan 6th Select Committee exposes more of the repug's shenanigans and all their efforts to suppress
the truth from seeing the light of day, the independent voters in the middle who decide all elections will
want to punish them and will side with Democrats.

i think televised hearings will cause some eyes to open.

but there is another thread here about moms who are fighting back against the mask bullshit and the ebook bannings. soccer moms are a pivotal group. as they go, so goes the middle.
and they are scared. that bodes extremely well for us.
we have to hang the violence on them.

1) You're not going to kick them all out the Congress, and even if you did, they'd be replaced the people of the same philosophy.

2) Jan 6 is not a driving issue for mid-term voters.

I would agree. We have eight months. That a long time but time is precious of course.

Decent and respectful, moral and lawful, loyal and patriotic, and wants what best for the Country tho' we may disagree on how to achieve those goals. I think that the more that is revealed about the Trump years, what he and his enablers did and planned to do - will turn even some die-hard republicans into doing the right thing by the nation. That is what I hope, because the alternative is too bad to think about.

...sufficient to drive them to the polls on that basis. Trump isn't on the ballot in November. The role of House and Senate members is fairly abstract to most voters, and not something that they're going to prioritize over bread and butter issues.
